The prime focus of the Cosmology Group is Theme 1 of the SESE Science
Themes: understand how today's Universe of planets, stars and galaxies
came to be. However, there is considerable overlap and common goals
with the other Themes, e.g., isotope abundances within our Solar system;
detector technology and instrumentation; distributed massively parallel
numerical simulations; and current and future space missions. And we are
even involved in a, perhaps surprising, cross-disciplinary application of
astronomical software for medical diagnostics.

Re-loading this page will randomly load a center image in the backdrop
above, formed by thousands of distant galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep
Field, our deepest view of the Universe yet. Each image is accompanied by a
short caption that may give you an idea of ongoing and recent research
within our Cosmology Group.
